The woman told Robeson Township Police she followed Gosselin to his home in Beckersville, Pa. on Friday after he left work. As the woman began to snap photos, she says Gosselin noticed her and told her to leave.

The woman says she refused to leave and Gosselin threatened to call the police. After the woman still didn’t leave, she claims Gosselin reached behind his back and then she heard the sound of a gunshot. The woman then fled the scene.

The federal lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia, accuses Jon of taking the material for a book called Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World. The suit also claims the book was written by Jon’s friend, tabloid writer Robert Hoffman, but has since been pulled from Amazon because the material was obtained illegally.
